Procedures for the School Classroom
All MK rules are to be followed while at school. The choice to disobey these rules will result in the consequences outlined within the Residential Handbook. In addition to the general rules, other procedures are to be followed in the classroom. Neglecting to follow these procedures will similarly result in consequences. Above all else, follow the teacher’s instructions while at school! Listed below are several of the class procedures.

This is the time set apart each day for residents to complete assignments and study school subjects. Do not talk to or distract other residents during this time. SLEEPING IS NOT TOLERATED! If you feel that you are having a hard time staying awake,

Books, journals, or any other materials cannot be passed between residents unless the teacher has checked them first. The consequence to note‐passing is a Level 1 drop.
Group Instruction Time
There will be times that the teacher prepares activities and lessons outside of school assignments. Everyone is expected to participate! Be respectful of other people’s right to speak when discussion or instruction accompanies the activity/lesson. In other words, if one person is talking, wait until he/she is finished before you start speaking!
Computer Use
Computers may only be used with permission from the teacher. When using the computer, the following rules apply: ‐NO GAMES!!! No exceptions. ‐No letter‐writing or doodling. The computers are placed in the classroom for school‐related uses only. ‐The Internet may only be accessed with permission. Only pre‐approved sites can be visited.

Class Preparation
Residents are expected to bring all materials to class with them. These can include journals, school books, school assignments, and any other materials that are necessary for a resident to complete tasks that he/she has been given. If a resident has left materials in the van, then he/she is not prepared!
Class Currency Program
A system is set up that allows residents to earn class currency, which can then be used to purchase rewards/treats weekly. Only the person who earns the money is able to spend it; therefore, attempts to use it for gambling, buying things from residents, or for any other purpose outside of school would be pointless. The general ways to earn money are outlined below:
• Earn a 5 for the day in school $1 Earn 5’s for the whole week $5 bonus.
• A book report on a book read outside of class $3
• Helping someone else/doing extra chores Pay determined by
